About this project
AquaFarm turns the problem of invasive water hyacinths into a climate-resilient solution for food production in Ghana. It will develop floating vegetable farms made from harvested hyacinths, enabling year-round cultivation without relying on scarce farmland. Through an innovative franchise model, AquaFarm will empower youth and women to build sustainable agribusinesses, creating jobs and increasing local incomes. By combining traditional farming practices with smart monitoring technology, the project will restore waterways, improve food security, and strengthen community resilience to climate change, transforming an environmental challenge into an economic opportunity.
